Hallelujah!!! He's my Jehovah Jireh...

upon reaching my letterbox this evening, i had this strange peace within that i may get my reply from MOE. true enough, when i opened the letterbox, an MOE envelope was there addressed to me... quite thick... was thinking in tt case quite likely i m in.

Mr Tan K, I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected for the appointment to the Education service as a General Education Officer (Untrained) on a 1 to 1.5 year contract...

that was more than enough for me... my future secured, my finances provided, more of God's work to be involved in... Thank You Father...

thank you all who've prayed for me. indeed He has provided. continue to pray for me that i'll see where God is working in this field & get myself involved in His work.

very excited.. can't sleep... plus Man U is playing against Lille in 1.5 hrs time, so might as well dun sleep till i watch the match..

Just Being Bored...

here's some more stuff from minzhi's blog...

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream
A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core.
You often find yourself on the outside looking in.
Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works.
You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.





Your Power Color Is Red-Orange



At Your Highest:



You are warm, sensitive, and focused on your personal growth.



At Your Lowest:



You become defensive and critical if you feel attacked.



In Love:



You are loyal - but you demand the respect you deserve.



How You're Attractive:



You are very affectionate and inspire trust.



Your Eternal Question:



"Am I Respected?"






Your Animal Personality



Your Power Animal: Deer



Animal You Were in a Past Life: Panda



You are a fun-seeker - an adventurous, risk-taker.

While you are spontaneous, you are not very rational.



Your Birthdate: August 15

With a birthday on the 15th of any month, you are apt to have really strong attachments to home, family and domestic scene.
The 1 and 5 equaling 6, provide the sort of energy that makes you an excellent parent or teacher.
You are very responsible and capable.

This is an attractive and an attracting influence.
You like harmony in your environment and strive to maintain it.
You tend to learn by observation rather than study and research.

You may like to cook, but you probably don't follow recipes.
This number shows artistic leanings and would certainly support an talents that may be otherwise in your makeup.
You're a very generous and giving person, but perhaps a bit stubborn in ways.


You Should Learn Swedish

Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.
Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!

Say Cheese..

just something i got from beckyboo's blog:


Mother Melting I am american cheese!
Cheese Test: What type of cheese are you?

Saya Penat...

i really dunno why i m so tired these few days.. physically, mentally, spiritually. thankfully not emotionally, but surely my emotions are affected.. tho i kept my QT, nothing seems to come out of it this week so far.. very bad.. guess i really need a retreat, some time alone with God. can't exactly remember when was the last time i put aside a prolong period of time for God.. even my QT was quite rushed..

was reading thru some of my older blog entries yest when i came across this particular which i wrote abt Sabbath. perhaps that was God's way of reminding me to have my Sabbath, undivided time with Him. tho the focus then was on our physical body, guess our mental & spiritual health are very much tied to Sabbath. i have been teaching the bible, talking to people, studying, preparing & conducting FT, all these done in the last few weeks. these are good things to do, but mentally & spiritually taxing. & of cos i had done all these without taking a break to seek God & rest in Him.

Quoting from Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King (my QT material), it says, "Planning is a tool God may cause you to use, but it never can become a substitute for God. Your relationship with God is far more important ti Him than any planning (or doing) you will ever do. Our biggest problem with planning (or doing) is that we plan and carry out things in our own wisdom that only God has a right to determine. We cannot know the when, or how of God's will until He tells us." (brackets mine, bold mine)

that was my problem for the last few weeks, hence accumulated to a very tired me today. guess what. the passage i quoted, it's part of my QT material for today. surely God works in wonderful ways to remind His children of Himself, cos when i started writing this entry, i couldn't remember a thing from my QT earlier.

indeed God is good, may He sustain me till end of the week where i can really spend extended time with Him...
